Freeze the mango cubes an hour ahead and you will not need much ice — the drink stays vivid, never watered down.
Method
- 01
Mix the salt and chilli flakes on a small plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of 4 short glasses, then dip each rim into the chilli-salt.
- 02
In a blender, blitz the mango, tequila, Cointreau, lime juice, agave, half the sliced chilli and a handful of ice until completely smooth and vivid orange.
- 03
Taste. More lime for lift, more agave for sweetness, more chilli for kick.
- 04
Pour into the prepared glasses. Float a lime wheel and a slice of red chilli on top of each. Serve immediately.
